Vulnerability assessment of UAV data exchange protocols to ensure increased stability of operation in loaded modes

Purpose of research. Currently, interest in the use of drones in various fields is actively growing. The reasons are related to the continuous growth of technology, with the advent of fast microprocessors that provide autonomous control of multiple communication systems. Monitoring, construction, control and surveillance are just some of the areas in which the use of UAVs is becoming commonplace. The purpose of the work is to study the work of loaded information exchange protocols at various levels of interaction and to propose options for increasing the reliability of interaction based on hybrid technologies. The article provides details of the communication and data exchange protocols used in UAV systems, as well as their performance.

Methods. The article discusses the protocols involved in the operation of UAVs at different levels, their features, advantages and disadvantages, as well as their failures to restore communication. Using realistic technological features of unmanned aerial vehicles to test models and methods can be very relevant for practical purposes in various industries from civil to military.

Results.The objectives of the study are to detail the data exchange protocols in UAVs at various levels, taking into account the analysis of the structure of the transmitted information and the hybrid model.

Conclusion. To qualitatively assess the impact on information security, it is proposed to introduce hybrid models of components that dynamically adapt data exchange protocols based on real-time threat analysis and system capabilities. Efficient use of energy is critical to efficient and safe UAV operation. The issues of security of the transmission channel of the protocol load from the point of view of the cost of energy resources are touched upon and considered.
